Except, this is not how GUID's are generated under Windows anymore. Microsoft bowed to preassure and now use a completely random key generation technique. This was because a reaction to the paranoid people shouting that Microsoft were attempting to track them via their MAC address. Okay, MAC address is by no means unique, but it does single out a very small subsection of users to be pinpointed by MAC address. Basing any GUID code on MAC address manipulation to gain pseudo random numbers is therefor on shaky ground.
